Toys.
"I'm home!" Mako yelled as he walked through the front door of his and Korra's apartment.
Korra was sitting on the couch in the joined living room, holding up her daughter Ama to her face and smiling as the little girl kept reaching for her nose. She looked over with the smile still on her face. "Hey honey." She greeted as she settled Ama down to sit in her lap. She then noticed that Mako was carrying a bag with him as he walked in. "What's in the bag?" She asked as she watched him set it down on the coffee table in front of her before sitting in a chair to take off his work boots.
"Huh?" Mako said as he looked up at Korra and then the bag he brought in. "Oh. Yeah, there was the market event set up on my route home so I decided to look around and bought a few things." He shrugged as he finished taking his boots off and then sitting back in the chair.
"Bought a few things as in… a few new toys for the girls?" Korra asked as she raised an eyebrow at her husband, figuring out his true intentions of taking part in the market event. Mako smiled and scratched the back of his head before standing up, sighing out a soft 'yeah'. Korra smirked and shook her head at him. "You spoil them too much."
Mako smiled at her. "You should know by now that I love to spoil my three girls." He said before kissing her on the lips and standing back up and picking up his boots.
Korra smiled as she watched him move around the room. "I thought you said you were going to shave that stubble off?" Korra said, pointing out the growing stubble on her husband's face before he left the room.
Mako ran a hand over his cheek and thought for a moment. "I don't know. I'm thinking of letting it grow out and see what it look likes." He shrugged before walking off to the master bedroom to put his boots away and change clothes.
He soon returned after about five minutes wearing his usual white, worn undershirt and a pair of black sweatpants. He was also carrying a half awake Anali in his arms that kept squirming around in her father's arms and rubbed her eyes. Mako looked up at his wife, finding her looking through the bag he brought in earlier. "Hey, quit snooping." He said as he laid Anali down on the small pallet on the floor next to her sister.
Korra snapped her head up and looked at him with surprised eyes. "I'm not snooping." She said as she put the bag back on the coffee table and threw her hands up.
"Yeah right," he smiled as he picked up the bag, "says the woman who has guilty written all over her face." He then walked over to sit in the armchair beside the couch and go through the bag.
"So what did you get?" Korra asked as she folded her legs up on the couch.
"Stuff for the girls." Mako said as he set the bag down as he pulled out two blankets, one purple and the other a light pink, both with matching teddy bears.
"Oh these are cute." Korra said as she picked up one of the bears. "Soft too," she added once she felt the fabric used to the make the bear.
"Yeah, that's what I thought too. The blankets are the same way." Mako said as he looked though the bag again. "I also found some recipe books too; one on quick and easy meals and another on baby foods."
Korra smiled. "Cool. I could try a few of those when the girls get to eating food." Mako smiled and nodded as he pulled the books out for her to look at. Korra flipped through the baby food cook book for a moment before looking at her husband for a moment.
Mako looked back at her for a moment. "What?"
"Did you only get stuff for the girls?" Korra asked, hoping that there was a gift for her as well.
Mako looked at her a little confused, and then caught on to her thoughts. "Of course not. I could never forget to spoil my queen." He smiled before reaching in the bag for a final time. Korra smiled as she watched him. He then pulled out a small, canvas colored square box and handed it to her.
Korra gladly took the box and looked him before opening it, giving him a chance to explain it if he wanted to. When she realized Mako wasn't going to say anything, she opened the bow and saw a beautiful beaded, blue bracelet inside. The beads all looked different with different shades of blue and glitter swirled inside. Korra picked the bracelet up out of the box and spun it around her fingers. "Mako, this is really pretty." She said, still taken aback from the bracelet.
"I'm glad you like it." Mako smiled as he stood up and grabbed the gifts he bought for his daughters.
He walked over to the small pallet, now finding both his girls on the stomachs; Ama gnawing on a toy that Mako bought her a few weeks ago and Anali just looking around. He sat down in front of them and placed both of the bears in front of them, letting them chose which ones they wanted. Anali instantly looked at the new objects in front of her and squealed happily as she reached out for the light pink bear in front of her. She instantly grabbed the bear's foot and rolled on her back as she started to gnaw on it. Ama on the other hand, just stared blankly at her sister, wondering what the noise was all about. She then looked at the purple teddy bear once Mako pushed it closer to her. While still gnawing on her older toy, Ama reached out and touched the bear. Once she touched the bear's foot, she dropped her old toy and pulled the bear toward her, rubbing her face against the soft fabric. Mako smiled at his two girls and just sat down in front of them. "Again, you scored big points with the toys." Korra smiled as gave her husband a soft applause. Mako looked up at his wife and smiled, filling completely blessed to have his three girls with him.
